What can you conclude from each diagram Warm up: What can you conclude from each diagram
Discovery Time! Quickly & Quietly Get into groups of 3 Person 1: Make a triangle with lengths 2, 3, 4 in. Person 2: Make a triangle with lengths 3, 4, 5 in. Group: Walk around and observe same triangles made by other groups Person 3: Record what observations your group have made
SSS postulate If 3 Corresponding Sides are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
Ex 1:
SAS Postulate: If two corresponding sides and the included angle are congruent then the triangles are congruent.
Ex 2: From the info give, can you prove Explain.
